Domain Decomposition Methods For The Solution Of Multiple Scattering Problems, Michael Pedneault
Domain Decomposition Methods For The Solution Of Multiple Scattering Problems, Michael Pedneault
Dissertations
This presents a Schur complement Domain Decomposition (DD) algorithm for the solution of frequency domain multiple scattering problems. Just as in the classical DD methods,(1) the ensemble of scatterers is enclosed in a domain bounded by an artificial boundary, (2) this domain is subdivided into a collection of nonoverlapping subdomains so that the boundaries of the subdomains do not intersect any of the scatterers, and (3) the solutions of the subproblems are connected via Robin boundary conditions matching on the common interfaces between subdomains. Subdomain Robin-to-Robin maps are used to recast the DD problem as a sparse linear system whose …
Fwer Controlling Procedures In Simultaneous And Selective Inference, Li Yu
Fwer Controlling Procedures In Simultaneous And Selective Inference, Li Yu
Dissertations
With increasing complexity of research objectives in clinical trials, a variety of relatively complex and less intuitive multiple testing procedures (MTPs) have been developed and applied in clinical data analysis. In order to make testing strategies more explicit and intuitive to communicate with non-statisticians, several flexible and powerful graphical approaches have recently been introduced in the literature for developing and visualizing newer MTPs. Nevertheless, some theoretical as well as methodological issues still remain to be fully addressed. This dissertation addresses several important issues arising in graphical approaches and related selective inference problems. It consists of three parts.
In the first …
Numerical Simulation Of Dropped Cylindrical Objects Into Water In Two Dimensions (2d), Yi Zhen
Numerical Simulation Of Dropped Cylindrical Objects Into Water In Two Dimensions (2d), Yi Zhen
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The dropped objects are identified as one of the top ten causes of fatalities and serious injuries in the oil and gas industry. It is of importance to understand dynamics of dropped objects under water in order to accurately predict the motion of dropped objects and protect the underwater structures and facilities from being damaged. In this thesis, we study nondimensionalization of dynamic equations of dropped cylindrical objects. Nondimensionalization helps to reduce the number of free parameters, identify the relative size of effects of parameters, and gain a deeper insight of the essential nature of dynamics of dropped cylindrical objects …

Control Theory: The Double Pendulum Inverted On A Cart, Ian J P Crowe-Wright
Control Theory: The Double Pendulum Inverted On A Cart, Ian J P Crowe-Wright
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
In this thesis the Double Pendulum Inverted on a Cart (DPIC) system is modeled using the Euler-Lagrange equation for the chosen Lagrangian, giving a second-order nonlinear system. This system can be approximated by a linear first-order system in which linear control theory can be used. The important definitions and theorems of linear control theory are stated and proved to allow them to be utilized on a linear version of the DPIC system. Controllability and eigenvalue placement for the linear system are shown using MATLAB. Linear Optimal control theory is likewise explained in this section and its uses are applied to …
Invariant Subspaces Of Compact Operators And Related Topics, Weston Mckay Grewe
Invariant Subspaces Of Compact Operators And Related Topics, Weston Mckay Grewe
Mathematics
The invariant subspace problem asks if every bounded linear operator on a Banach space has a nontrivial closed invariant subspace. Per Enflo has shown this is false in general, however it is known that every compact operator has an invariant subspace. The purpose of this project is to explore introductory results in functional analysis. Specifically we are interested in understanding compact operators and the proof that all compact operators on a Hilbert space have an invariant subspace. In the process of doing this we build up many examples and theorems relating to operators on a Hilbert or Banach space. Continuing …

The audience of this piece would be high school or college students who have not yet had an introduction to geometry, but have completed the standard mathematical courses leading up to this point (i.e. algebra, elementary math, etc.). This being the case the lessons and concepts realized in Chapter 1 target a basic understanding of what Euclidian Geometry is and the subsequent chapters aim specifically at underlying properties of a geometry. The main source of …
Italian Domination On Ladders And Related Products, Bradley Gardner
Italian Domination On Ladders And Related Products, Bradley Gardner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An Italian dominating function on a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a function such that $f : V \to \{0,1,2\}$, and for each vertex $v \in V$ for which $f(v) = 0$, we have $\sum_{u\in N(v)}f(u) \geq 2$. The weight of an Italian dominating function is $f(V) = \sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v)$. The minimum weight of all such functions on a graph $G$ is called the Italian domination number of $G$. In this thesis, we will consider Italian domination in various types of products of a graph $G$ with the complete graph $K_2$. We will find the value of the Italian domination …
Calculating The Cohomology Of A Lie Algebra Using Maple And The Serre Hochschild Spectral Sequence, Jacob Kullberg
Calculating The Cohomology Of A Lie Algebra Using Maple And The Serre Hochschild Spectral Sequence, Jacob Kullberg
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Lie algebra cohomology is an important tool in many branches of mathematics. It is used in the Topology of homogeneous spaces, Deformation theory, and Extension theory. There exists extensive theory for calculating the cohomology of semi simple Lie algebras, but more tools are needed for calculating the cohomology of general Lie algebras. To calculate the cohomology of general Lie algebras, I used the symbolic software program called Maple. I wrote software to calculate the cohomology in several different ways. I wrote several programs to calculate the cohomology directly. This proved to be computationally expensive as the number of differential forms …

Blow-Up Solutions Of Wave Map Equations With Periodic In Time Speed Of Propagation, Nathalie M. Luna-Rivera
Blow-Up Solutions Of Wave Map Equations With Periodic In Time Speed Of Propagation, Nathalie M. Luna-Rivera
Theses and Dissertations
We study the initial value problem for the wave map equation with time-dependent speed of propagation. In particular, for arbitrary, small, and smooth initial data we construct blow-up solutions of the wave map with coefficients that are periodic in time. For the proof we use Lyapunov-Floquet theory and Borg’s theorem.
Identities For Partitions Of N With Parts From A Finite Set, Acadia Larsen
Identities For Partitions Of N With Parts From A Finite Set, Acadia Larsen
Theses and Dissertations
We show for a prime power number of parts m that the first differences of partitions into at most m parts can be expressed as a non-negative linear combination of partitions into at most m – 1 parts. To show this relationship, we combine a quasipolynomial construction of p(n,m) with a new partition identity for a finite number of parts. We prove these results by providing combinatorial interpretations of the quasipolynomial of p(n,m) and the new partition identity. We extend these results by establishing conditions for when partitions of n with parts coming from …
Multi-Resolution Analysis Using Wavelet Basis Conditioned On Homogenization, Abibat Adebisi Lasisi
Multi-Resolution Analysis Using Wavelet Basis Conditioned On Homogenization, Abibat Adebisi Lasisi
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This dissertation considers an approximation strategy using a wavelet reconstruction scheme for solving elliptic problems. The foci of the work are on (1) the approximate solution of differential equations using multiresolution analysis based on wavelet transforms and (2) the homogenization process for solving one and two-dimensional problems, to understand the solutions of second order elliptic problems. We employed homogenization to compute the average formula for permeability in a porous medium. The structure of the associated multiresolution analysis allows for the reconstruction of the approximate solution of the primary variable in the elliptic equation. Using a one-dimensional wavelet reconstruction algorithm proposed …
Generalized &Thetas;-Parameter Peakon Solutions For A Cubic Camassa-Holm Model, Michael Rippe
Generalized &Thetas;-Parameter Peakon Solutions For A Cubic Camassa-Holm Model, Michael Rippe
Theses and Dissertations
In this paper we outline a method for obtaining generalized peakon solutions for a cubic Camassa-Holm model originally introduced by Fokas (1995) and recently shown to have a Lax pair representation and bi-Hamiltonian structure by Qiao et al (2012). By considering an amended signum function—denoted sgn &thetas;(x)—where sgn(0) = &thetas; for a constant &thetas;, we explore new generalized peakon solutions for this model. In this context, all previous peakon solutions are of the case &thetas; = 0. Further, we aim to analyze the algebraic quadratic equation resulting from a substitution of the single-peakon ansatz equipped with our amended …
The Strong Law Of Large Numbers For U-Statistics Under Random Censorship, Jan Höft
The Strong Law Of Large Numbers For U-Statistics Under Random Censorship, Jan Höft
Theses and Dissertations
We introduce a semi-parametric U-statistics estimator for randomly right censored data. We will study the strong law of large numbers for this estimator under proper assumptions about the conditional expectation of the censoring indicator with re- spect to the observed life times. Moreover we will conduct simulation studies, where the semi-parametric estimator is compared to a U-statistic based on the Kaplan- Meier product limit estimator in terms of bias, variance and mean squared error, under different censoring models.
Dynamic Pricing With Variable Order Sizes For A Model With Constant Demand Elasticity, Nyles Kirk Breecher
Dynamic Pricing With Variable Order Sizes For A Model With Constant Demand Elasticity, Nyles Kirk Breecher
Theses and Dissertations
We investigate a dynamic pricing model under constant demand elasticity which accounts for customers ordering multiple items at once. A closed form expression for the optimal expected revenue and pricing strategy is found. Models with the same demand are shown to have asymptotically similar expected revenue and pricing strategies, even if the order size distributions of the customers are different. Surprisingly, the relative difference between comparable models is shown to be independent of time and the magnitude of demand. Variations of the model are considered, including different low inventory behavior as well as the effect of advertising. Some numerical simulations …
Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces Estimates For Evolution Equations With Structure Dissipation, Jingchun Chen
Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces Estimates For Evolution Equations With Structure Dissipation, Jingchun Chen
Theses and Dissertations
This work is concerned with the long time decay estimates of the generalized heat equations and the generalized wave equations in the homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. We first extend the known results for the generalized heat equations in the real Hardy spaces. We also extend the known results for the generalized wave equations with structure dissipation in the real Hardy spaces.
The main tools employed are the decomposition of the unit, duality property in Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and the multiplier theorems in different function spaces such as Lebesgue spaces, real Hardy spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.
Hartogs Domains And The Diederich-Fornæss Index, Muhenned Abdulameer Abdulsahib
Hartogs Domains And The Diederich-Fornæss Index, Muhenned Abdulameer Abdulsahib
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Diederich-Fornss Index has played a crucial role in studying regularity of the Bergman projection on pseudoconvex domains in Sobolov spaces as is shown by Kohn, Harrington, Pinton and Zampieri and others. In this work, we discuss the Diederich-Fornss Index on Hartogs domains, and its relation to other properties connected to regularity of the Bergman projection. An upper and lower bound for the Diederich-Fornss Index is calculated for Hartogs domains and computed sharply for worm domains. Related conditions for the existence of a strong Stein neighborhood basis for Hartogs domains are introduced.

Predicted Deepwater Bathymetry From Satellite Altimetry: Non-Fourier Transform Alternatives, Maxsimo Salazar
Predicted Deepwater Bathymetry From Satellite Altimetry: Non-Fourier Transform Alternatives, Maxsimo Salazar
Dissertations
Robert Parker (1972) demonstrated the effectiveness of Fourier Transforms (FT) to compute gravitational potential anomalies caused by uneven, non-uniform layers of material. This important calculation relates the gravitational potential anomaly to sea-floor topography. As outlined by Sandwell and Smith (1997), a six-step procedure, utilizing the FT, then demonstrated how satellite altimetry measurements of marine geoid height are inverted into seafloor topography. However, FTs are not local in space and produce Gibb’s phenomenon around discontinuities. Seafloor features exhibit spatial locality and features such as seamounts and ridges often have sharp inclines. Initial tests compared the windowed-FT to wavelets in reconstruction of …
Exploring Flag Matroids And Duality, Zachary Garcia
Exploring Flag Matroids And Duality, Zachary Garcia
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Matroids capture an abstraction of independence in mathematics, and in doing so, connect discrete mathematical structures that arise in a variety of contexts. A matroid can be defined in several cryptomorphic ways depending on which perspective of a matroid is most applicable to the given context. Among the many important concepts in matroid theory, the concept of matroid duality provides a powerful tool when addressing difficult problems. The usefulness of matroid duality stems from the fact that the dual of a matroid is itself a matroid. In this thesis, we explore a matroid-like object called a flag matroid. In particular, …

Symmetric Presentations And Double Coset Enumeration, Charles Seager
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
In this project, we demonstrate our discovery of original symmetric presentations and constructions of important groups, including nonabelian simple groups, and groups that have these as factor groups. The target nonabelian simple groups include alternating, linear, and sporadic groups. We give isomorphism types for each finite homomorphic image that has been found. We present original symmetric presentations of $M_{12}$, $M_{21}:(2 \times 2)$, $L_{3}(4):2^2$, $2:^{\cdot}L_{3}(4):2$, $S(4,3)$, and $S_{7}$ as homomorphism images of the progenitors $2^{*20}$ $:$ $A_{5}$, $2^{*10}$ $:$ $PGL(2,9)$, $2^{*10}$ $:$ $Aut(A_{6})$, $2^{*10}$ $:$ $A_{6}$, $2^{*10}$ $:$ $A_{5}$, and $2^{*24}$ $:$ $S_{5}$, respectively. We also construct $M_{12}$, $M_{21}:(2 \times 2)$, …
Generalized Line Graphs, Mohra Abdullah Z. Alqahtani
Generalized Line Graphs, Mohra Abdullah Z. Alqahtani
Dissertations
With every nonempty graph, there are associated many graphs. One of the best known and most studied of these is the line graph L (G) of a graph G, whose vertices are the edges of G and where two vertices of L (G) are adjacent if the corresponding edges of G are adjacent. This concept was implicitly introduced by Whitney in 1932. Over the years, characterizations of graphs that are line graphs have been given, as well as graphs whose line graphs have some specified property. For example, Beineke characterized graphs that are line graphs by forbidding certain graphs …

The Mathematical Aspects Of Theoretical Physics, Hassan Kesserwani
Theses and Dissertations
The aim of this thesis is to outline the mathematical machinery of general relativity, quantum gravity, cosmology and an introduction to string theory under one body of work. We will flesh out tensor algebra and the formalism of differential geometry. After deriving the Einstein field equation, we will outline its traditional applications. We then linearize the field equation by a perturbation method and describe the mathematics of gravitational waves and their spherical harmonic analysis. We then transition into the derivation of the Schwarzschild metric and the Kruskal coordinate transformation, in order to set the stage for quantum gravity. This sets …

Asymptotic Quantization For A Condensation System Associated With A Discrete Distribution, Shankar Parajulee
Theses and Dissertations
Let P := (1/3)P ○ S1–1 + (1/3)P ○ S2–1 + (1/3)v be a condensation measure on R, where S1(x) = (1/5)x, S2(x) = (1/5)x + 4/5 for all x ∈ R , and v is a discrete distribution on R with the support of v equals C := {(2/5), (3/5)}. For such a measure P we determine the optimal sets of n–means and the nth quantization errors for all n ≥ 2. In addition, we show that the quantization dimension of the condensation measure P exists and equals …

The Compensation For Few Clusters In Clustered Randomized Trials With Binary Outcomes, Lily Stalter
The Compensation For Few Clusters In Clustered Randomized Trials With Binary Outcomes, Lily Stalter
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
Cluster randomized trials are increasingly popular in epidemiological and medical research. When analyzing the data from such studies it is imperative that the hierarchical structure of the data be taken into account. Multilevel logistic regression is used to analyze clustered data with binary outcomes. Previous literature shows that a greater number of clusters is more important than a large number of subjects per cluster. This paper investigates if it is possible to compensate for the increased bias found for parameter estimates when the number of clusters is decreased. A simulation study was conducted where the absolute percent relative bias for …
A Complete Characterization Of Near Outer-Planar Graphs, Tanya Allen Lueder Genannt Luehr
A Complete Characterization Of Near Outer-Planar Graphs, Tanya Allen Lueder Genannt Luehr
Doctoral Dissertations
A graph is outer-planar (OP) if it has a plane embedding in which all of the vertices lie on the boundary of the outer face. A graph is near outer-planar (NOP) if it is edgeless or has an edge whose deletion results in an outer-planar graph. An edge of a non outer-planar graph whose removal results in an outer-planar graph is a vulnerable edge. This dissertation focuses on near outer-planar (NOP) graphs. We describe the class of all such graphs in terms of a finite list of excluded graphs, in a manner similar to the well-known Kuratowski Theorem for planar …
